Nobody who has ever visited Sunnyvale will believe that photo of a sign in some desert! Sunnyvale is a densely populated city surrounded by other similar cities. The property values are quite high. Of course, the real website at that URL is from York, Pennsylvania (which also has no deserts nearby).

Most visited? I'd guess either Wikipedia or Google personally...

^That claim may well be true by default -- it's probably the only website in the world about York, Pennsylvania.

Also, how to define website when you insist on selecting the biggest site in the world?

Google has millions and millions of pages but all of them are just search results rather than a real site with developped pages in a structure.
Hotmail or Yahoo or Gmail don't have many publically visable pages, but if you count every webmail inbox as a page, then you'd suddenly get to millions of pages too. If you only consider the sign-up pages and terms of service pages, then they'd be very small pages.

In the end, size doesn't matter, content does.

Just in case.... The Onion is a parody site. Nothing you read there is true.

YouTube could be very well be the most visited too. Especially if you include other websites where YouTube videos are embedded.
